MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

Hi! I'm 33 years old and new to this group. I got diagnosed with FMS 6 weeks ago but have had the symptoms for years, some worse than others. I'm happy to find this group, helps knowing there are people out there who will understand (not happy that you suffer too).

Cheers,

Sangeeta

Hello Sang welcome,glad you found us. Sorry you had the need to find us. Hope to get to know you better,you are going to find some of the most wonderful people here.
May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night ,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then,all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,and know it’s beauty and yours.

Hi Sang,

Welcome to the best support group you will ever find! I too was recently diagnosed but I too have had symptems for over a year.

Just know that when you are having a bad day, one of us who is having an okay day, will be here to lift you up. If one of us is having a bad day, it might be you that makes all the difference.

We laugh here and we cry here. Sometimes member don’t sign on for weeks but when they come back, it is as if they never left.

I hope you find what you need here. We all are living our lives with FM so never be afraid to ask ANY question you may have.

HUGS!

Amy

Hi Sang and welcome!!!! Pretty name! I have been diagnosed 2x myself, 15 years ago when there was nearly nothing in the way of treatment let alone understanding and again more recently.......Just started Lyrica about a month ago........So many different approaches to be found here.. I have been looking into some of the alternative treatments but have always self treated with exercise, diet and positive thinking. Without those things I would be in worse shape I am convinced of that. Friendship and Understanding DEFINITELY helps and you will find plenty of that here. Welcome!

Hi Sangeeta,

I, too, am very new to this group. Already I have received an amazing outpouring of support and encouragement.

Keep posting...I look forward to getting to "know" you better.
